TO THE BURGESSES OF THE MIDDLE WARD.
GENTLEMEN,— A paper has been put into my hand signed by foitv of your number, icquesting that I should allow myself »o be nominated one of the Candidates for the repiesentation of the Middle Ward It would be an affectation of humility not to say that I feel gratified by this mark of your confidence. I accede to the wishes of the Hrqnisilionists on the giounds stated as forming in their opinion proper qualifications for office, vk., independency and conscientiousness. Every question coming before the Councils I should consider on its own merits, irrespectively of the quarter whence it might originate, and having arrived at a conclusion would act in accordance therewith. I would undertake the office with gieat misgivings, as to having talents and experience to please even myself, but if you should think me qualified I shall enter upon its duties with a sincere desire to advance your intetests which are identical with mij own. I am, Gentlemen. Your most obedient Servant, : Archibald Clark, Auckland. October 17th, 1851.
